Engadget has managed to get hold of a very interesting internal presentation slide from Hewlett-Packard which compares Apple's iPad to HP's very own Slate. Since we didn't yet know anything about the Slate's specifications, this one is pretty revealing. While that's interesting in and of itself, the slide is also interesting in that it illustrates so well what sets Apple apart from companies like HP.

I really hope you're being sarcastic. Otherwise, you are the first person I've ever met (online or otherwise) with anything nice to say about Compaq.

I was a Novell administrator when the Compaq ProLiant first came out. That server (at the time) was 2x the server in terms of reliability, management tools, and raid performance, of thing even near it's price range.
